awk & basename puzzler - advise sought

Hi

I have been able generate a file ($ELOG) that can have multiple lines within it. The first column represents the full path source file and the other is the full path target ... the file names are the same but the target directory paths are slightly different.

<source_dir1>/file1 <target_dir1>/file1
<source_dir1>/file2 <target_dir1>/file2
<source_dir2>/file3 <target_dir2>/file3

I need to run a 3rd party ENCRYPT (executable file) against <source_dir1>/file1 and then move it to <target_dir1/file1...<target_dir1>/file1 is the encrypted version of the human-readable <source_dir1>/file1

The code I have thusfar is

Code:

cat $ELOG | while read line;
       do
         echo $line | awk '{print "ENCRYPT " (basename $1)"  "<encrypt password>}' | sh
         sleep 3
         echo $line | awk '{print "mv "$1" "$2}' | sh

By using basename, I am hoping to seperate the filename so the line should read

ENCRYPT file1 <password> ....pause 3 and then move the file to the correct <target_dir> located in column 2 of the file

Unfortunately the baseline part is not working - what am I not doing correctly ?

Please advise how to resolve

Thanks in advance

David

EXAMPLES

       cat << EOF > test.awk
       @include getopt.awk

       BEGIN {
